Speed - Train Past Platform - Solve for Time (Level 3)

This math topic focuses on calculating the time a train takes to completely pass a platform. Problems involve determining the total time based on the given speed of the train and the combined lengths of the train and the platform. Each question provides different train lengths, speeds, and platform lengths, challenging the student to apply formulas or reasoning related to speed, distance, and time calculations. Multiple-choice answers are given for each problem, allowing for selection-based responses.
